SPOTLIGHTING IU SUCCESS

Co-workers, friends, DJs

On the last Friday of every month, professors in the School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering Luis Rocha and Johan Bollen aren’t just co-workers or long-time friends, but a DJ duo. When Bollen asked Rocha to help him DJ his wife’s birthday party at the local bar, the Root Cellar, they were such a hit that the Root Cellar agreed to make their performances a monthly event.

IU is home

To many students and alumni, IU is the place they call home—even after they’ve graduated and moved away. IU graduates and current students reflect on their time at IU and the ways it began to feel like home for them individually. Whether they are from the class of 1950 or the class of 2018, IU is a place where each of these students found a sense of belonging.

Recognized for acceptance

To LGBTQ+ Culture Center director Doug Bauder, the affirmation that this campus is an accepting one is important. IU was recognized by Campus Pride as one of the top-25 LGBTQ-friendly colleges and universities in the U.S. for the third consecutive year. Bauder aspires to continue to make the center a place of advocacy.
